No Controller Input while Streaming

[deXter]

I have the following problem: When I start a game via Remote Play on my Steam Link, the controller input only works if a controller is also connected to the host. This happens even though the controllers from the Steam Deck are recognized by the host system while streaming.

I have the same issue right now. Were you able to solve it?

The same thing happens to a friend of mine. His controller detects it in the big picture, but when it comes to transmitting the game, it doesn't recognize it. :(

I've found that as well as having to have a controller connected on the host before streaming, it also needs to be in big picture mode before beginning the stream, otherwise the BP UI is not engaged and steam deck controls are not recognised.
